Sheffield United v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Tezmond]

just got back (live in Shef) a few beers worse for wear. Good first half, terrible in the second. Two stupid, petulant bookings for Ash.

4K Villa fans, only 16.5k total attendance - easily Blades worst attendance of the season - shocking.

Solid debut from Walker, apart from silly pass across our area. Give him 5 games before clamouring for his signature.

Kyle Walker's goal

Petrov goal - Clicky

Cheers Legion, thanks Villadawg.

Amazing how easy that football lark can sometimes be, isn't it?

You're very welcome. Here's the set.

Albrighton goal - Clicky

Cheers.

I have heard that Walker is the bait for Young. 2 good games from Walker and Young is gone.

Great finish from Albrighton with his left foot, how come we were so bad in the 2nd half?

[Tony]

Can't think of a defender scoring on his debut before
Stuart Gray played left back every now and then but he was definitely in midfiled on his debut (Bardford away)

What a great game that was!

From Villa to Tottenham?

On the contrary, I heard from a really good source, someone that works at the club, that Ash is very close to signing a new deal. He wants to put an end to all of the speculation as it's affecting his game.

Great win today.  A much needed win before the derby game, had we lost today then we would have been in BIG trouble.  3 good goals and another 3rd round win, we haven't had too many of those in recent years.  Well done lads.  Onwards and upwards.

P.S Ash, you are an idiot.

I really hope that's true Toronto

Can't see ash being close to signing a new contract as it was agreed not to even discuss it again until the seasons over- I'd be very surprised if he did.

As for walker, I'm sure spuds will double the asking price but he loons a class player- saw him for qpr at Xmas and was outstanding- I hope we sign him long term- let's get some deals done this week and stuff the blues next weekend !

Yeah...if ASHLEY screwed his head on....he could become a lifer at Villa and live happily ever after.

[PaulTheVillan]

Walker was immense today, only one real error when he tried to pass the ball out of defence and it was under hit.

Thought we soaked up their pressure well in 2nd half.

Petrov did well when he came on, was more advanced than usual.

Thought Bannan was good first half.

Villa fans were brilliant today! They were quick at serving the beer, was impressed.

Sidwell, what's the score? He he he.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Thanks for the links to the goals, chaps. Great to watch them again and again and again.

Have to say Ashley is at his best when he takes the ball to the line and whipping it in. Great move, great goal.

Re: defenders scoring on debut- Zat Knight. Plus Kent Nielsen if you count friendlies.
